our chalet was comfortable and quite spacious. BUT the basin in the bathroom was cracked and the door difficult to open and close. We could not be moved to another room as fully booked but we were given a small discount.

Beautiful grounds

We enjoyed the lodge, however, I would have liked a bed frame, not just the mattress on the floor, it was too low for me. They really need to invest in beds for their mattresses. But the room was clean and the bathroom was good size and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

The staff were really welcoming and accommodating. The restaurant food was excellent. We stayed in a chalet where the Ironing board was small (sleeve size) so a little tricky to use, but otherwise a comfortable pleasant place to stay

The best thing about our stay here was the dinner, which was outstanding. The rooms are very basic for the price paid. The property, especially the Lodge itself, is unique and rustic - as you might expect for a fishing lodge. If you’re traveling between Auckland and Wellington, it’s conveniently located just off Highway 1. Not much else to choose from around this area.

We stayed overnight but we would love to come back some time and try the trout fishing. The lodge is on the river and as I walked past I could see large trout swimming. The gardens are stunning. Our chalet was very quiet, comfortable and spacious. We enjoyed an excellent dinner and breakfast here. The service was excellent. I would highly recommend staying here.

When we arrived, the room was already warm and cozy. Such a good reapite from the long rainy drive. The reception staff was polite and welcoming. The place is quite old and the curtains remind me of the ones my grandma had in the 80s. However,the cabin is well kept and clean. A good nostalgic experience. Perfect for relaxing and lazing about.
